DocuCheck Impede® Security Paper... It's our standard for all standard cheques:

LineMarkTM - Lines in the paper change from light to dark depending upon reflected or transmitted light. This deters alteration and duplication and provides authenticity.
Chemical-Reactant Stains - Special chemical indicators in the paper appear as stains if altered using common ink solvents.
TonerFuse® Coating - Toner is fused into paper resulting in paper tears if someone tries to alter or remove the toner.
Invisible Fluorescent Fibers - Invisible fluorescent fibers in the paper are visible only when placed under a black light.
Warning bands - Printed warning on document face notifies document handlers and criminals of security features present.
Microprinting - Miniature print appears as a line or rule. Difficult to scan or copy. Can be verified with a magnifying glass. Helps with authentication.

VOID pantograph security feature also available at an additional charge.
Continuous cheques include a Bleed Thru MICR (prevents forgery, counterfeiting and also provides authenticity), in addition to all the above mentioned features except TonerFuse Coating.
Endorsable CB - Eliminates pen/ink skipping when signing back of carbonless cheque.
